Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 170 Advantage

蹋！

With the friction of his shoes against the ground, Toshiro, who had just dodged a sneak attack from the Iwa ninja, landed steadily on the ground.

Looking at the tragic scene before him, caused by his actions, Toshiro felt a sense of emotion that was unlike any other ninja of this era.

This twisted ninja world has had an incredibly profound impact on me.

He, who had never killed a chicken before, can now send countless lives to the land of death without batting an eye.

Killing a dozen or so people at once was an unimaginable and terrifying legend in his past life. It only existed in news reports where people had only heard of him but never actually witnessed it.

Now, it doesn't affect him much anymore.

War can truly turn a normal human being into a beast without a shred of mercy!

Just like my past self, I could never have imagined it.

One day, I will become like this!

……

Looking at the Iwa ninja who had just appeared from where he had been, he didn't have anything to worry about. At this moment, he couldn't afford to have any wild thoughts. If he didn't kill the other party...

You'll be the one who dies!

After sensing his dwindling chakra, Toshiro slowly drew the ninja sword tucked into his lower back.

Ever since he lost his kodachi during Yekura's ambush, he has taken with him the last ancestral ninja sword left by his father.

After a short period of adaptation, he can now use this chakra weapon, which is over a meter long, very well.

"Go to hell!"

Without exchanging any further words with Toshiro, this short Iwa ninja, who looked more like a tree stump than a ninja, charged at Toshiro, brandishing his weapon.

The opposing team wiped out half of their teammates in one fell swoop. At this point, there's no need for any more trash talk!

Their only conversation consisted of the weapons in their hands.

clang!

With the advantage of his Sharingan, Toshiro easily blocked the opponent's attack. However, at this moment, his stamina was too depleted to mount a proper counterattack.

All they could do was slowly maneuver around the opponent, hoping that they could recover their strength under the cover of their teammates.

Or perhaps it's one's own Sharingan, which can have a certain effect, allowing one to defeat opponents without consuming a large amount of chakra.

The three attacks just now were very effective, but they consumed a considerable amount of chakra.

Whether it was the Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Flame Bullet he developed himself, the Shuraken Shadow Clone Technique developed by the Third Hokage, or the final Fire Release: Dragon Flame Song Technique.

Each ninjutsu was at least B-rank, and he used three high-rank ninjutsu in one go, almost completely depleting his chakra.

Even my own body is starting to feel the strain.

It wasn't that his own strength was only at this level; the key issue was that he had gone all out in one go, leaving him feeling completely drained and extremely weak.

Given a little time to recover, he can basically regain his fighting strength.

Meanwhile, the Uchiha boys, who had been passively taking hits, finally arrived at the scene under the leadership of Uchiha Homura and Tetsuya.

They surrounded the still-shaken Iwa ninja!

At this point, the situation had fundamentally changed compared to when the battle had just begun, when a large number of Iwa ninja attacked a group of young Uchiha brats.

They turned into a bunch of brats and besieged the remaining Iwa ninja!

"Flame! Watch out!"

"The enemy's leader, a Jonin, is hiding. Don't make a move; be wary of a sneak attack! Have Tetsuya lead the clansmen to surround and attack them..."

Toshiro has no choice but to be cautious. The high attack and low defense characteristic of ninjas means that a single effective sneak attack can play a decisive role in team battles.

Just like what he just did!

I've put in so much effort to gain this advantage. If that hidden Jonin were to follow suit and launch a sneak attack, wouldn't all my hard work have been for nothing?

The opponent was not injured in the attack just now, and the amount of chakra consumed was almost negligible.

If you're not careful, and your opponent pulls off a stunning comeback, you'll become a laughing stock!

"Okay! I understand!"

"You should also be careful; they're definitely targeting you now."

Uchiha Homura, who had grown into a rather graceful young woman, didn't act coy. Instead, she reminded Toshiro to be careful.

Then he stared intently at the slightest movement in the arena, his Sharingan eyes gleaming with tomoe.

He was well aware of Yan's warning. He had given the other party such a big surprise, and this Jonin from Iwagakure probably wanted nothing more than to grind him to dust.

How could I not be on my toes!

As for whether doing so would cause casualties among his own people, he had given it considerable thought.

If he were alone, he could only protect a limited number of people; he couldn't possibly take care of every member of his tribe.

Rather than that, it would be better to give them some proper training. Even if some of his friends were to die, there's nothing he could do about it!

He's not a saint!

We don't have that kind of sentiment!

Furthermore, our strength doesn't allow it!

If, despite having this advantage, his comrades still suffer casualties in the end, he would accept it.

After all, he could help them once or twice, but could he protect them every time?

To survive this protracted war, they could only rely on themselves.

One more thing!

That's the Sharingan!

He was well aware of the nature of his own bloodline limit!

It's not necessarily a bad thing for these people to experience some danger. Otherwise, if they always live under someone else's protection, their chances of opening their eyes to the world would be greatly reduced.

The awakening of every pair of Sharingan is always accompanied by blood and tears. This makes every member of the clan who awakens the Sharingan feel both love and hate for their own bloodline.

Although not everyone has to experience the death of a companion or someone they care about.

However, negative emotions such as hurt, helplessness, regret, and despair are always indispensable. Moreover, the more intense these negative emotions are, the greater the chance of them "opening one's eyes."

Therefore, the more tragic, desperate, and fierce the battles the Uchiha clan members experience, the more astonishing their potential becomes.

I'll post five more chapters tonight.
